A local mall is allowing your furry friend to shop along with you. Not only will they be allowed inside certain stores, but there will be dog-friendly events too!

This Mall Has Allowed Dogs Inside Before-Now They Can Shop!

Since 2018, you were allowed to have your dog inside the mall's common area. Colonie Center is now inviting dog owners to come with their leashed dogs shopping. According to the Colonie Center website, all well-behaved dogs, of all breeds are welcome. There are about thirty stores that are participating in allowing dogs inside their establishments. Dogs will not be allowed in the Play Park or the Food Court. There are clean-up stations throughout Colonie Center.
